[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While not in favor, a ranked choice lottery would be fascinating.  Our family is in the Cardinal district.  Our top 4 choices would be Cardinal, Nottingham, Tuckahoe and Glebe.  Wouldn't exactly get you the cross-county choices you're looking for.

My guess is your average Discovery parent would choose Discovery, Jamestown, Nottingham and Tuckahoe.

[b]Other than probably a small proportion, APS families are going to choose the schools near their homes.  [/b]OP, you may be new to this but this has been rehashed endless times over the last 15yrs.  APS families overwhelmingly value proximity more than any other single factor in choosing their child's school.  Best of luck as the latest to try and push this rock uphill.[/quote]

This. A while ago I read an assessment of the impact on New Orleans schools when they went to an all lottery system after Katrina. By and large, families picked schools near their homes so it didn't do much to desegregate. [/quote]

Right!  This is precisely the point that has been hammered over and over again.[/quote]
